Real Madrid legend Paco Gento has broken ranks to heap praise on Barcelona star Lionel Messi ahead of the El Clasico. Gento says Messi is worth five players to Barca ahead of Monday night's clash.
"For Barca, their most dangerous has to Messi. With him it seems the team plays with 15 instead of 11. Messi is worth five. He's a crack!" declared Gento.
"It will be a very interesting game, but will not decide the Liga yet, because we are still almost starting. The two teams arrive at a very good moment and, although they have different styles, are very close."
